Product Description
Oxoid™ Brilliance™ Listeria Agar (ISO) PP Plates are ready-to-use pre-poured plates designed to detect and identify Listeria species, including the harmful Listeria monocytogenes, in food and environmental samples. This chromogenic medium makes Listeria colonies easy to spot:
- Blue-green colonies indicate Listeria species.
- Listeria monocytogenes shows an opaque white halo around the colony due to lecithinase activity.
These plates comply with ISO 11290-1:2017 and ISO 11290-2:2017 standards and are validated for rapid and reliable results.
Applications
- Food Safety Testing: Detect Listeria in dairy, meat, seafood, and ready-to-eat foods.
- Environmental Monitoring: Check surfaces and production areas for contamination.
- Research & Quality Control: Used in labs following ISO reference methods or Thermo Scientific™ Listeria Precis™ protocols.
Benefits
- Ready-to-Use: No need to prepare media - just open and inoculate.
- Fast Results: Clear differentiation of Listeria species within 22 hours.
- Highly Selective: Inhibits other bacteria and fungi using selective agents (lithium chloride, polymyxin B, nalidixic acid, amphotericin).
- Accurate Identification: Chromogenic technology ensures easy visual recognition.
- ISO Compliant: Meets international standards for food safety testing.
